Ngexesha lokuboniswa kwesicwangciso esitsha se-Auto Auto, umlawuli olawulayo weVolkswagen Group, uHerbert Diess - owabona isivumelwano sakhe sandiswa ukuya kwi-2025 ngaphambi kweendawo zesigebenga saseJamani - akazange asilele ukusungula intshutshiso encinci xa wathi iCUPRA ithengisa ngaphezu kwe-Alfa Romeo.
Kutshanje siye sanika ingxelo malunga nendlela iVolkswagen Group ezame ngayo, kwakhona, ukuthenga iAlfa Romeo kwiFCA ngo-2018.
Isindululo esenziwe nguHerbert Diess ngokwakhe kwi-FCA (ngoko) ngesicelo sikaFerdinand Piëch (ngoku ongasekhoyo), emva kokuba amarhe ngelo xesha acebisa ukuba iqela lase-Italiyane laseMelika lingakwazi ukuphonononga uphawu lwembali yase-Italiya njengoko lenzile, ngobuninzi. impumelelo, kunye Ferrari kwiminyaka embalwa ngaphambili.
Ukusuka kwi-FCA, ngomlawuli wayo owayesakuba ngumlawuli uMike Manley, weza "Hayi" ngempendulo, kodwa kubonakala ngathi iVolkswagen Group's "obsession" ngoAlfa Romeo - ethathe amashumi eminyaka - akubonakali ngathi iphelile okwangoku. . Bukela kwaye umamele uHerbert Diess ngexesha lokunikezelwa kwesicwangciso sobuchule seqela:
Ukuba impumelelo yezorhwebo yeCUPRA inokuqinisekiswa ngokulula, ukuthelekisa ukusebenza kwayo kwezorhwebo naleyo ye-Alfa Romeo kuthetha ukuba iVolkswagen Group ijonge kuhlobo lwayo oluncinci lwaseSpain njengokhuphiswano kuyo.
Okwangoku, asinakubabona njengabakhuphisana nabo, kuba bobabini, namhlanje, "abawela" kwimarike. Ngaphandle kojoliso lwezemidlalo lweCUPRA, uluhlu lwayo oluhlala lukhula lugxile kwi-C-segment - i-Ateca, iLeon, iFormentor kwaye, kungekudala, Uzalwe. UAlfa Romeo okwangoku uhlala kwicandelo elingasentla, i-D, enemodeli ezimbini, ekuphela kwayo kwipotfoliyo yayo, iGiulia kunye neStelvio.
Ukuqala kunyaka ozayo, u-Alfa Romeo uya kubuyela kwi-C-segment - emva kokuphela kwe-Giulietta ngo-2020 - kunye ne-Tonale, i-SUV ephakathi kwe-SUV apho phakathi kweembangi zayo ezinokuthi sithathele ingqalelo i-CUPRA Formentor njengenye yazo.
Sekunjalo, ngaba sinokuyiqwalasela i-CUPRA njengembangi ye-Alfa Romeo? Okanye ngaba lo ngumnqweno (kunye nenjongo) yeQela leVolkswagen, echazwe kule ngxelo imfutshane kodwa ivuselela i-Diess?
